Japan Sends NOKO Missile Alert to Citizens

Two days after the US State of Hawaii faced the ultimate humiliation after erroneously sending a missile alert to all its citizens, Japanese state broadcaster NHK did the same, this time correcting it’s mistake immediately, however.

NHK at first sent a news update to its subscribers that read: “North Korea appears to have launched a missile. The government urges people to take shelter inside buildings or underground.”

As stated, the Japanese broadcaster made sure not to repeat the mistake of the Hawaiian authorities and within 5 minutes, sent another text to correct the erroneous alert, sending people into a panic. NHK said it was a false alarm and apologizing for the error.

"Patterns of North Korean missile launch is erroneous," the second message stated.
